ctime()

Convert a time_t type to a character array.

  #include <time.h>
  
  char *ctime(const time_t *timer);

Parameter

timer

A pointer to a value of type time_t to convert.

Remarks

This function converts a time_t type to a character array with the same format as generated by asctime().

The function returns a null-terminated character array pointer containing the converted time_t value. This facility may not be available on some configurations of the EWL.
